Can't move vias in 3D PCB using move component

I have a single very simple board with no real components, just a flex PCB that will replace some wires on a mechanical assembly. 

 When I add vias in the 2D PCB layout screen, I can get them to appear on the 3D PCB model. But when I want to move them to snap to points on the sketch, it won't select them. 

 

To be clear, the vias are copper exposed holes that some pins will get soldered to. Is this a bug, a lacking feature, and if so is there a work around?

Hi @chris.rouxel88,

 

I hope you're doing well. This would be considered a lacking feature. The only thing you can directly move on the 3D PCB are components not individual vias. The workaround would be to use things like the wirepad library, which essentially has components that consist of a single via.

 

Let me know if there's anything else I can do for you.
